1.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT

The purpose of this Bid Solicitation is to solicit Quotes for Traffic Signals, Poles, Controls, Electrical Equipment and Signal Indications and Warning Devices.

It is the intent of the State of New Jersey to award Contracts to those responsible Bidders whose Quotes, conforming to this Bid Solicitation are most advantageous to the State, price and other factors considered. The State may award any or all price lines.
